Forests and other thickly-vegetated areas are dark green, grazing areas are light green, & crops are mostly yellow. Bare ground appears pale yellow or brown, almost white. The estuary of the River Loire is at centre left. The colour of the Loire and the sea depends upon depth, currents and the amount of sediment in the water.
